The Leathers

Full-grain Ethiopian highland cowhide, sourced through a network of local tanneries — finished four ways, and made to improve with the years.

Smooth & pull-up

Our signature leather. Full-grain Ethiopian highland cowhide, finished to keep its natural character. Pull-up leather lightens where it bends and stretches, then settles into a patina that records how you carry it. No two bags age alike.

Pebbled

A tumbled, softly textured grain that wears with composure. Small scuffs settle into the surface and the leather holds its shape through years of commutes — the leather we reach for when a piece has to work hard and still look composed.

Crocodile-embossed

Ethiopian cowhide pressed with a crocodile pattern: the depth and drama of an exotic skin, without the cost to anyone but the pattern. Deep colours catch the light across every scale and stay quietly formal.

Let it age.

Smooth and pull-up leathers change with use: lighter where the hide stretches and bends, deeper where hands, weather and time touch it. That change is a patina, and no two bags earn the same one.

Pebbled, crocodile-embossed and sheepskin leathers age more quietly, keeping their texture while the colour settles.

Care guide

Good leather asks for very little. A few habits will keep yours supple, strong and beautiful for years.

  1. Keep it dry

    Water can stain and stiffen leather. If your bag gets wet, blot it with a soft cloth and let it dry naturally, away from radiators and sunlight.

  2. Let it rest

    Stuff your bag lightly with paper when it is not in use so it holds its shape, and store it in a cool, dry place.

  3. Wipe, then nourish

    Brush off dust with a soft dry cloth. Once or twice a year, work a little leather balm into the surface in small circles and buff it dry.

  4. Welcome the patina

    Scuffs on pull-up leather can often be softened with the warmth of your hand. Marks and darkening are the leather telling the story of how you live.
